x2. You don't need anything big or fancy. For about 500. you can buy a nice unit, on sale. Keep the insulated chimney to a minimum, cause that's what'll cost you. They used to make simple kits that suspended the chimney, from the ceiling, but I don't think they are available any more. you can get an insulated steel base to set it on, as well
